Anderson Cooper at UCLA

The UCLA Newsroom’s Elizabeth Kivowitz Boatright-Simon writes about Anderson Cooper’s appearance at the University’s 7th Annual Daniel Pearl Memorial lecture…

In response to questions from the audience, Cooper said he thinks there is far too much shouting on television and that he believes audiences today want the facts and not just to hear anchors talking. He said audiences need to see situations from many different angles and that he tries to provide this in his reporting. He also advised young journalists starting out in today’s Internet world to set up a blog and make a name for themselves online, and to report about people and stories they have access to that others may not.
